TEXT LUKE 5:3-7
TOPIC : THE CREATIVE FORCE OF TRUST
[3]And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
[4]Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
[5]And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
[6]And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
[7]And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
Whenever we put our trust in the spoken word of God, a creative force is released.
Peter and his hardworking team had fished throughout the night and caught nothing.
Towards morning, Jesus came and borrowed their boat to have a platform to preach from because of the pressing crowd.
When Jesus was done, He told peter to take back his boat and cast his net on the right side.
Peter and his team were professional fishermen. They had fished all their lives.
They understand the water and they knew that what Jesus was asking them to do was impossible physically speaking.
Peter said at your word, I will cast it back.
He trusted the Man behind the instruction and his trust created a divine call within the waters.
All the fishes began to search for peters net.
There was a competition among the fishes with regards to which one would be the first to enter into peter's net.
Peter observed the whole thing and he knew that divinity had manipulated the events in his favour.
Beloved, it does not matter how bad your situation looks today, one word from God can still turn the events in your favour.
It's not the time to give up, your own word is on the way.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
